The cold of winter had final set in, Haren's feet crunching in the snow every step he takes. The sensation of snow was foreign to him. His world had been destroyed by war prior and he has struggled to survive in the wasteland. He was one of a select few accept into the city this year. In his mind he was average at best he thought it luck that he was able to get in he'd soon learn the horror of being accepted into city 13: SALVATION.
Every breath he takes is visible and heavy. He'd have been walking from his drop point for about thirty minutes now, when he finally reaches the outskirts of the city proper. The city's building tower into the sky blocking the horizon from even a good distance away from the city. He starts to walk the empty streets. As he looks around it final hits him that there's no one around.
He calls out "Hello! I'm new!" hearing no response he walks further into the city.
When Haren reaches the city center he finally finds something. A gigantic screen with the Emperor on it. The city's P.A. system blares out the emperors speak to him.
"Haren H. Jin it's good to finally meet you. Welcome to Salvation. You maybe wondering why you are the only one here. The answer to that is simple, you are the first to survive the entrance to salvation." The voice coming over the system sounding almost robotic. "Congrats on the successful entrance. You may have the next while to compose yourself."
The screen then shuts off and the courtyard in the city starts to come to life holographic shopkeepers appearing in all the stalls. He had heard that shops in the city's were fully automated but he never thought this is what they meant, and more over he had sworn that he had heard he was the first to survive the entrance.
